The months as known and named by the Saxon and Norse peoples were counted by the cycles of the moon rather than being a fixed length as now. So the Norse names overlap our system and the Saxons inserted an extra summer month.

Sunnudagr - Sunday (Sunna's Day, Sunna being an old Germanic name for the Sun goddess and also Icelandic for the sun

Manadagr- Monday (Mani's Day, Mani being the god of the Moon)

Tyrsdagr - Tuesday (Tyr's Day, Tyr being the old god of war)

Odinsdagr - Wednesday - (Odin's Day)

Thorsdagr - Thursday (Thor's day)

Frjadagr - Friday (Freyja/Frigg's day)

Laugardagr - Saturday (Washing Day - when all good Norse have a bath, whether they need it or not!)

MEALS

Breakfast - Rismal

Lunch - Dagmal

Dinner - Nattmal

Below is a chart to help you work out what the equivalent Viking and Modern days are, remember it is only a rough guide for a bit of fun and not to be considered definitive. People are still disagreeing about the length of a day, month or year but at least today they are only concerned with seconds and micro seconds!
